Paradeplatz
A man walks into a branch office of one of Switzerland's biggest banks situated on Paradeplatz in Zurich, which is a synonym for wealth.
He approaches a counter and tells the bank clerk in a very low voice:

A shame is a bit of a strange phrasing. I don't think it is something I would ever say.

Nice job! Only thing I'll question is the hyphens (-) for quotations. This isn't something I've seen before, but it's possible that it is used on some kind of web forum or the like, which might be where you got it from. It is definitely not used in more standard or formal writing.

Good joke!
Just a comment on the punctuation. In English the standard way to punctuate the middle section would be as follows:
He approaches a counter and tells the bank clerk in a very low voice, "I would like to withdraw three million Euros in cash."
The bank clerk answers, "Sir, there is no need to whisper. Being poor is not a shame!"
Come to think of it, I would also suggest "nothing to be ashamed of" instead of "not a shame." It just sounds more natural.
